Kelechi Iheanacho is enjoying his time  training with MLS side Colombus Crew, officials have said.

Colombus coach Gregg Berhalter said the Nigeria youngster, who is on the books of EPL champions Manchester City, is shaping up at his latest base, but there are no plans to sign him up.

“He’s enjoying himself,” Berhalter said. “The guys have embraced him; he’s doing a good job.”

The move to the Crew was brokered by one of Berhalter’s old USMNT friends Claudio Reyna, the director of football operations at New York City Football Club, the MLS expansion club that is partially-owned by the same group that runs English Premier club Manchester City.

“Basically, we’re providing training from an individual…He’s here getting fit, getting sharp, training in a good atmosphere where he can learn. That’s what it’s about,” disclosed the Colombus coach.

“[Iheanacho] wanted a place to train. [Manchester City] approached us. … He wanted to play at a club and train, and I guess we have similar philosophies, values, so we said we’d be glad to help out.”

Iheanacho, who is staying in a hotel in Columbus, will be around until mid-October, according to Berhalter.
